    First ride for ages

    Well, it's a beautiful January day here (about 9 C - 48-50 F and sunny) so I took the bike out for a half hours ride. It was great to get back on it again after the recent cold weather.

    Had been a few weeks since I'd ridden. Today was a sunny 34F so I rode in.

    I ride to work everyday. 60 in the morning and 76 in the afternoon. It does not get much better than we have it in Tampa Bay area.

    I went for a ride tonight, a nice ride to Yatla, my son wanted to go for a ride. Well what could I say, stopped at a BP truck stop for Macdonalds, his choice not mine, then into town for a cruise through the city streets and back home. Just a quick 100ks, most enjoyable though.

    Thought about going for a ride today. With a high of 51, I'll wait until tommorow when it's in the 60's.

    Mid 60's here today. Took a ride up to the mountains for lunch. Some sand in the middle of the roads and cold in the shadows but still nice to get out. I'm usually able to take the bike out at least once a week here. Here's a ride from a couple weeks ago.
